The Hendrix family released a monster of The Jimi Hendrix Experience rarities, a lavish eight album box set that is a must have to Hendrix, psych and sixties collectors everywhere. With a beautiful 80-page booklet, and purporting to have 46 unreleased tracks. Also included is a new mix of the "Gloria" single. Other tracks have been available on bootleg recordings but have been lovingly remixed by Jimi's original producer, Eddie Kramer. "Taking Care of No Business," a great tune similar in feel to "My Friend," has been stripped of the stupid overdubs that marred the first appearances of this song. "Country Blues" and "It's Too Bad" are quality studio jams that sound great with a proper mixing job. The real highlights of the set are the early studio '67 '68 "EXPERIENCE" outtakes, from the cache that original manager (ex-Animals member) Chas Chandler withheld from (later Jimi manager) Alan Douglas for so many years. (You'll recall that Douglas claimed complete control of Hendrix's recorded legacy until that was overturned in 1995 and reverted to Jimi's father, Al Hendrix.) Some of these tracks are versions recorded prior to the version that ended up being released, giving an interesting glimpse into the evolution of some of Hendrix's songs, in some cases, like "Room Full of Mirrors," differing drastically from the known release. Other tunes are alternate mixes ("Purple Haze," "If Six Was Nine") that give indications of the type of studio experimentation that Hendrix, Kramer, and Chandler were undertaking. "Little Wing" and "Bold As Love" are given powerful instrumental readings, as the band locks in the arrangement prior to their respective master takes. In addition, the cool proto version of "Angel" called "Sweet Angel" is revisited, restoring the 15 or so seconds that were missing, and with a better mix, created from the recently discovered multi-track recordings. Interestingly, one of the most enjoyable aspects of these studio outtakes is the control room banter that takes place. There isn't a ton of it, but there are some highly enjoyable moments. At the end of "Purple Haze," Hendrix starts to giggle and throws in "Mary Had a Little Lamb." The version of "Third Stone From the Sun" has Chandler and Hendrix's recording of the spoken (acid effects) bits used on the song, tacked on to the beginning. It's great to hear Hendrix cracking up throughout their interstellar conversation. Another moment subtly hints at the frictions that were to end up dissolving the Chandler-Hendrix partnership. After seven minutes of take 21 of "Bold As Love," Hendrix is heard to say, "let's try it one more time, alright?" to which Chas Chandler dejectedly replies with a groan. The big 40 page book included is wonderful; all tracks are fully documented and annotated, with lots of photos, many previously unpublished. There are also recording studio log sheets, newspaper articles, poster/flyers, and Hendrix's handwritten lyrics reproduced. All in all, The Jimi Hendrix Experience 8-Lp set is the finest addition to the Hendrix legacy, but not the place to start; this is a set for someone who can't get enough of his genius.
